On it's way!


Top finished for DQS7

I finished up the top for my DQS7 swap.

My partner LOVES rainbows, so I used a couple of bars from every color. I really like the black and white middle bar that separates them and it will be bound in the same fabric.

This weekend I plan to get it pinned and possibly quilted. I'm a little undecided how to quilt this though. I was thinking of stippling the white part and doing horizontal lines with matching thread on each of the bars, but OH BOY the time that will take!

Maybe I could just do lines through it all in white thread. Will that take away from the colors?

Anyone have some ideas or advice? I'm feeling stuck.

It's so cute- nice work! I LOVE rainbows- I hope it's mine :-) I would keep the quilting simple, like a crosshatch pattern, to let the colors sing!

Good idea. I guess white thread then?
